Have put together several pinhole cameras over the years but they were all simple boxes that had to be loaded and unloaded in the dark. Recently bought an 8x10 pinhole camera (equivalent focal length of 125mm) off that auction site. Pinhole was way too small and the 4 bolts with washers used to hold the film holder rather crude. Viewfinder or equivalent of absent.
Have decided to construct an 11x14 WA pinhole camera. 11x14" back with GG purchased form a FORUM member and eagerly await its arrival. Also obtained a small close/open/close shutter that uses a common shutter release cord. Aperture of the shutter when open is about a 1/4 inch and is just enough project an out-of-focus image on the GG for me to actually compose the image. Then will insert an appropriate pinhole inside of the shutter to shoot with.
Really looking to construct a pinhole camera that it's final construction... well I will be proud to show it off. Tapered front end like a shallow pyramid on its side have been considering instead of a simple box.
Would greatly appreciate construction/design advice. Images of other's pinhole cameras would be greatly appreciated.
